Initially yes and then no. Is there a mono shock in there? If the suspension worked well, the tank could hold more than a teaspoon and there was a front mudguard i would reconsider. Whatever, it's someone's happy place.

With Big Jim. Any bike to me must be a practical means of transport. Boring I know...

I really can't see the point. I would rather see a bike that can be used to tour the country not something you have to stop regularly to keep putting fuel in a
small tank so you don't run out. A lot of work to make this bike the owner wanted but not for me.

Among all the chops, this must be one of the better looking ones. So, yes, somehow admiring it.

The oil tank is inside the main tank, so even less fuel than is apparent from the tanks size.

The swinging arm is a bit weedy for using as a monoshock (if that's what he's done) and why would anyone keep the front stand/mudguard stay with no front mudguard?
Detailing looks better than the usual "red crimps, rusty nuts and Dexion" though.

I kinda smell what the builder is stepping in and I do appreciate the skill and work but not my cup of tea

Looks good to me - there's a lot of detail and thought gone into it and it's obviously somebody's pride and joy - I've got an old Harley a bit like that.

So, why is there an oil tank? (Wish you could hear my tone of voice.)
Regarding swingarm, I think it's rigidized.

Whether rigid or swing arm, That thing looks like it would flex like crazy! I do like the looks of the bike though...………..
